Token Economics and Circulating Supply
We are changing how we calculate the Circulating Supply and will now follow the CMC methodology. According to CoinMarketCap, the Circulating Supply is the best approximation of the number of coins that are circulating in the market and in the general public’s hands.

Utility Token
The LCX Token is created as a utility Token which may be used to pay all fees associated with the services offered by LCX. The LCX Token can currently be used as a voucher to pay subscription fee of LCX Terminal.
Guaranteed LCX Token Value of 0.10 USD at LCX.com
Within the LCX ecosystem, at LCX.com, the value of the utility token will be determined by the market, but will always be at a minimum of 0.10 USD. For example in the case of the minimum value (0.10 USD), if you pay for services at LCX.com valued 10 USD, you have to pay a maximum of 100 LCX. If the market price of LCX Token has increased to 1 USD for example, you will have to pay 10 LCX Token to pay for services valued 10 USD.
For example, if the LCX Token is traded on cryptocurrency exchange at 0.02 USD – below our minimum of 0.10 USD – and if you pay for services at LCX.com valued 10 USD, you only have to pay 100 LCX as well, because the value of LCX Token will not go below 0.10 USD within our ecosystem.
